A review by hippiepixie85
Savages by Don Winslow

4.0

Ben, Chon, and O.... a dynamic trio, all very different in personality, and belief, but sharing something in common: their bond. They would do anything for each other, including taking on a Mexican drug cartel to rescue their precious O.

This is one of those books where the title describes it perfectly. When dealing with savages, one must sink to their level. You must become the savage. There is no other way.

I enjoyed this book a lot. I was rooting for the 3 stooges the entire time, pleading with them to be savages so they could all be together again.

The prose is dynamic, even reading more dramatically than I expected at moments. The dialogue is smart and witty, the inner monologues even more so.

If you're looking for something that's all around entertaining, and you're not afraid of a little graphic subject matter, this is for you.
